Hi everyone,
So I have been following the student loan updates very closley. I applied to PA schools this cycle and a lot of the recent changes will effect how I pay for school. Since GradPlus Loans were set to be eliminated in July 2026, I decided against going to my dream school that starts in August and attending another school that starts in a week, and will allow me to be grandfathered into GradPlus loans.
Today, someone in our cohort said that they spoke to someone directly from studentaid.gov who said the department of education has not confirmed GradPlus loans being eliminated in July 2026, however I felt that this statement has defintley been made by studentaid.gov and is very clearly published online and has been covered in the news.
Previously on the studentaid.gov website it stated that GradPlus loans were to be eliminated in 2026 and had information about professional vs graduate students and what amount of ubsub loans they would be receiving after July 2026. Today I went on their website and there is not a TRACE of information about GradPlus being eliminated.
I am genuinally so confused. I feel like I am losing my mind, I am positive that this information was directly published by the department of education and now it is gone.
Please help!
Information about GradPlus loan elimination no longer on Studentaid.gov?

The OBBA made those changes law. So it’s still happening. They could just be working on the site.
Here is the page for updates: [https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/big-updates](https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/big-updates)
I think this is horrible. I’m hoping it changes.
I knew that was happening at the end of 2025! Current administration making so many changes with colleges. First they seem to promote it then ham us up. I feel your pressure.
